Display Value Default . Portamento Time Por 0~127 50 “Portamento” means that the pitch doesn’t change in clearly defined steps: it produces glides from one note to the next. Use this parameter to specify the speed at which those glides are carried out. The higher the value, the slower the transitions. NOTE If the receiving MIDI instrument doesn’t support this parameter, this setting will have no effect. Display Value Default .

FAC dmp SAv Restoring the settings to the factory condition (Factory Reset) The settings you’ve changed in Parameter mode (page 14) can be restored to their factory-set condition. This operation is called “Factory Reset.” 1. Simultaneously press the [CONTROL 1] and [CONTROL 2] pedals. The [CONTROL 1] and [CONTROL 2] indicators flash. 2. Press the [CONTROL 1] or [CONTROL 2] pedal to select the “FAC” parameter. 3. Press the Hold pedal to confirm. When the Factory Reset has been completed, the display will indicate “ok” and the PK-9 will leave Parameter mode. Archiving and restoring your settings (MIDI Dump) You can archive and restore your settings using a computer (with a MIDI interface, commercially available) or an external sequencer. Getting ready to archive/restore 1. Use a MIDI cable (commercially available) to connect the MIDI IN socket of external sequencer to the PK-9’s MIDI OUT socket. 2. Use another MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT socket of the external sequencer to the PK-9’s MIDI IN socket. Note: Your computer may have to be connected to a MIDI interface. The PK-9 needs to be connected to the MIDI interface. MIDI IN MIDI OUT MIDI OUT MIDI IN 3. Switch on the external sequencer and the PK-9. NOTE To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections. Archiving your settings to the external sequencer 1. Simultaneously press the [CONTROL 1] and [CONTROL 2] pedals. The [CONTROL 1] and [CONTROL 2] indicators flash. 2. Press the [CONTROL 1] or [CONTROL 2] pedal to select the “dMP” parameter. 3. Activate data reception or recording on the external device. 4. Wait until the sequencer’s count-in (if applicable) is finished and press Hold pedal to start the MIDI Dump. When the MIDI Dump has been completed, the display will indicate “ok” and the PK-9 will leave Parameter mode. 17 Parameter mode MIDI Pedalboard PK-9 Parameter mode MIDI Pedalboard PK-9 Stop recording on the external sequencer and save the data. Transmitting your settings back to the PK-9 1. Start the playback of the data you saved (and loaded). All of the PK-9’s indicators light and the display shows “dMP” (Dump).
